Australia's Top-Order Collapses in Perth
Australia's batting line-up was dealt a crushing blow on the third day of the Test match in Perth, as the top-order collapsed in the dying moments of play.
Jasprit Bumrah's Dominance
Jasprit Bumrah was the architect of Australia's downfall, taking two crucial wickets in the final session of the day. Nathan McSweeney was trapped in front of his stumps, while Pat Cummins walked off with his head down, a symbolic moment for the struggling Australian team.
Marnus Labuschagne's Agonising Moment
Marnus Labuschagne's wicket was a turning point in the day, as he was knocked down to his knees by a Bumrah delivery that cannoned into his pads. The Australian No 3 stood with his head bowed, wondering how it had come to this.
India's Top-Order Shines
India's top-order, led by Yashasvi Jaiswal, put on a show of dominance, with Jaiswal introducing himself to the Australian audience with an outrageous shot. He went on to score a century, outscoring both India and Australia in their first innings.
Virat Kohli's 30th Century
Virat Kohli, the former captain, scored his 30th century, but it was more about what it could mean for the rest of the tour and the series. He was in the spotlight, and his century was a gut punch to Australia on a day they'd already been knocked down.
